Yesterday after work I went out for my local 2 mile hill course. It's short, but the hill makes it a good workout and its something I like to do when I'm short on time. Running that hill seems to make me stronger. Anyway, it was 80 degrees outside and while I realize that it will take time to regain fitness from my off time, I did not expect that hill run to kick my rear the way that it did!
Today I have an easy 3 on the schedule and I was planning to join the group after work again. But after yesterday's run I was thinking that I really should try to run in the morning instead. This morning, at a cool 50deg, I went out for my run. Oh what a difference! I'm not sure I was moving much faster, but it didn't seem to be nearly the struggle as the run last night. It was quite enjoyable actually.
Another 3 on the plan for tomorrow and at this point I plan to do the same thing...run early.
I find it amazing how a course you've run many times before can randomly kick your butt without warning.

ReplyDeleteHills kick everones butt
ReplyDeleteI felt that way yesterday lifting weights. I even asked D if I had too much on the bar.
ReplyDeleteGlad the 3 miler was easier!
Hills are brutal!
ReplyDeleteThe cooler it is, the easier it is to breath. I like that :-)
ReplyDeleteHills? What are those? Here in FL, they're called landfills ;)
ReplyDeleteI like cooler weather. It's like when it is cold and I am not running outside, it feels like I am cheating. ARGH!
ReplyDeleteHope your next run will be awesome!!
Hills are your friend. :-)
